Foam Mattress / Platform bed

[Frank B]

Hey this is my first post. Ive got a memory foam mattress on a platform frame and I was wondering what positions are better for this. Ive never had sex on memory foam and it seems like it might be a bit different. Plus I couldn't find any posts on this so I figured I'd throw it out there.

Welcome to the SI101 Board and its Forums. I hope you enjoy participating. Please begin by familiarizing yourself with the FAQs, the Posting Guidelines section, and especially the Index, all found at the top of the main screen. The Index contains links to helpful informative insightful, as well as how-to articles. Also, if you go to the Home page you will find links to illustrated animated sexual positions!

I think you will just have to experiment from among those positions that interest you and see what happens. Take note of those that work well, work well with your mattress, and those not so much.

Preferences are also individual between the man and woman involved, so you will have to factor this into the equation. As for "memory" I'm not sure just how much memory is retained and for how long. It may just be that this this capability is not too critical overall.

Let us know what you think after trying this.

You do have to adjust your technique when using a foam mattress vs a traditional spring bed. I think I've mentioned it in a few posts before.

The quality (foam cell density) of the bed makes a big difference as well since "memory foam" can be a $20 mattress pad from Target that deteriorates after a year vs one's that cost over a thousand dollars. The higher end Tempur-Pedic ones have about 3' of the 'memory foam' on top of a polyester foam base. Others have alternating thickness of the types of foam for more support in specific regions. Sometimes latex is mistakenly referred to as memory foam as well.

Each density and thickness responds in a different way. The 'memory foam' is very temperature sensitive, and is much firmer and slower to conform when cold. When warm, it still takes a couple seconds to raise back up from a high pressure point like sitting up on one's knees. The stiffness of the base layer and thickness of the top layer also determines how much your knees will sink in, and how long the impression you made will take to raise back up.

Basically you need to watch out for very quick position transitions such as upright missionary on the g spot to parallel deep posterior fornix stimulation. There will be impressions from where your knees used to be, and depending on your specific bed, that means there could be steep slopes just to the side of your legs when together that you can slip down into. I was knocked out of commission for quite a while after a nasty bruise from that slip doing a practical penis stand on her pubic bone .

I think jack black calls that a cock push-up.
